everything perfect. model, csp work, attention to detail bla bla EXCEPT HANDLING. literally undrivable.
Many physics problems with the accuracy of this mod:

The '92 Type-R is ok in terms of balance and tire slip, but 2nd gear feels too planted, like traction control is on.

The original '91 NSX is almost undriveable.

This is how NSX should be done:

The cars in this pack actually handle quite nicely once you get use to it. Don't get me wrong, they're tricky. But it didn't take me long to understand a good throttle/brake ratio. So I am not sure whats with the reviews. The Cars are decent.
2 stars for being: 1.) functional and 2.) aesthetically beautiful.

Such a great model and looks so well, but tires man, what on earth? The tires are slipperier than driving on real ice irl!
It looks and sounds amazing but the handling is one of the worst I have ever experienced. The car just can't turn. It is like driving on ice whatever you try to do.
Looks and sounds are an easy 5, the effort that went into designing those two are top-notch.

The handling just brings down the feel, don't get me wrong the nsx is tricky to drive but the car feels way too slippery. I have to slow more and get on the throttle way later than usual since tapping the gas makes the rear tires lose all grip and spin me out. I tried driving it on the srp map and it was painful, to say the least, on the straights it's good but the moment I had to deal with a curve I found myself hitting the guard rail or spinning around.

Overall though it's a mixed bag, it's a 5 for looks and a 1 for handling so I guess 3 makes sense.
Like other reviewers I really struggle with how to rate this. I'm going with 1 star to get the attention of the mod devs. The visual model, sound, interior, and breadth of NSX models are excellent.

The driving dynamics/physics, however, are terrible. With any slip the tires heat up to red almost instantly causing them to lose basically all grip (no other car does this). As soon as any slip happens in a turn the car oversteers and spins out. The car is very unstable under braking and as a result often spins.

I appreciate that the devs were going for the 'tricky' handling that the NSX is known for. I believe the 2.0 struck the right balance between will-bite-you-if-you-don't-drive-well and un-driveable. This does not.

I keep wanting to drive it because it looks and sounds SO good. I think maybe I just need to drive more carefully and smoothly or something. Then I drive it and even tip-toeing around I barely manage a lap before quitting in frustration. This is NOT how a car should drive.

Please, PLEASE, fix the physics. Just give us the 2.0 physics with the 3.0 car model! This would be an easy 5 stars with that! And finally, I do really appreciate the massive amount of work that must have gone into this mod.
It's hard to review this car (stars wise) because sound and looks are a solid 5. However the handling is the worst I've ever experienced. The car either just doesn't turn at all or spins. When driving on touge I have to brake to like 10-20km/h to make a turn, when other cars (mods or AC default cars) have no problems. I get that the mid engine cars can be tricky to drive, but if NSX behaved like this IRL, all NSX drivers would be dead by now. And I'm not a modder but it seems like the guy did something to the cars files that prevents me from swapping handling from some other car. For some reason I had nothing but fond memories of this car from back in the day when I borrowed my friends G27 (2016 or so), so this was my first car when I bought my T300 and I thought something is broken with the wheel or that I suck at driving. Please dude, for the sake of world peace, fix the handling. The car is amazing when it comes to sound and looks, but it's literally undriveable.
Fantastic looking car and the sound is very accurate! I think the work you have put into it is fantastic, but the handling is a big part of the car that has let it down unfortunately. I appreciate that MR cars can be difficult sometimes to manage the back end, but this is beyond what the NSX should be doing. If you give it just enough throttle to spin up the tires with full lock on at a standstill, and as it starts to spin around you let off the throttle completely it then continues to spin around very dramatically. It's as if the flywheel is made of lead!! It is simply unrealistic. Furthermore when going into a corner a similar thing happens, beyond a specific, but shallow slip angle, it spins out, and you can not recover it no matter what you try. I've tried reacting as fast as humanely possible whilst stabilising the throttle to mesh to the road, I've tried simply putting the clutch all the way in. It's like there's an elephant stored in the boot/trunk!. Hopefully the next update will address the handling physics, then it will be probably one of the best cars, if not THE BEST!!! car mod on AC and will certainly have 5 stars easy!
Im giving up on this mod. Always has drove like ****, now tyres overheat in a matter of seconds making the car spinout. No fun here.
Visually and acoustically, this car is absolutely stunning. I remember the days when your NSX was among the absolute benchmarks in cars for Racer.nl - that was a good 15 years ago. Thank you so much for all the effort you have been putting into keeping the NSX's legacy alive in Simracing through all these years.

What I am struggling to understand in Version 3.1 is the tire temperature behavior. A tiny little bit of slip angle is enough to let the surface temperature shoot straight through the roof in what feels like milliseconds, turning an initially manageable oversteer into an unrecoverable spin more quickly than it could be recovered.
Interesting and tricky car to drive especially on high speed tracks. Nice work juys! Well-done!
I've loved seeing the journey this mod has taken, it's one of my favourites and it brings me great joy seeing it so lovingly recreated across many sims now. (Isn't this mod across all its iterations old enough to drink in the U.K now?)

I'm really enjoying the physics updates. I've been driving the Type-S Zero a bunch and the car doesn't flatter you. If you ask too much of those tyres they will punish you. A very rewarding drive.

Thank you!
Thx for updating.Very Nice Model & reaction of actual cars,Control is tricky though.
lovely cars. Prior this update they would not load for me tho. Said it was validating setup. This update has them functioning perfectly. Thank you very nice
Very bad tyres. If you drive the Nurburgring, the rear tyre heats up so much before you pass S1 that it turns into an uncontrollable drifting machine.
Physics are really bad, please correct them accordingly. I have changed setup but still doesn´t work correctly.
Interesting car
thank you, happy new year!
Thank You!!
